Resistivity Meter

Conforms to API Recommended Practice 13B-1, ANSI/API 13B-1/ISO 10414-1

Resistivity Meters are electronic meters used to measure the resistivity of fluids, slurries or semi-solids. These instruments feature solid state electronics, and are designed to meet the needs of field and laboratory personnel for resistivity measurement according to API Recommended Practice 13B-1. Conductivity of the medium being measured is obtained by taking the reciprocal of the resistivity measurement.

The Model 653B Resistivity Meter is a solid-state, electronic meter used to measure the resistivity of fluids, slurries or semi-solids that have resistivities of 2 0.01 to 10 ohm-meters/meters². The instrument features a transparent sample cell with a built-in thermometer. It is packaged in a lightweight high-density polypropylene case and is suitable for onsite testing.

Used to measure the resistivity of fluids, slurries or semi-solids

These resistivity instruments feature solid state electronics, and are designed to meet the needs of field and laboratory personnel for resistivity measurement according to API Recommended Practice 13B-1. Conductivity of the medium being measured is obtained by taking the reciprocal of the resistivity measurement.

The Model 88C Resistivity Meter is suitable for filtrates, muds, filter cakes or slurries and provides a direct digital readout of resistivity in three ranges: 2, 20 and 200 ohm-meters/meters².

A built-in temperature probe provides direct measurement of the sample temperature in the transparent cell. The instrument features high accuracy and has a built-in Test circuit to check calibration. It is packaged in a lightweight high-density polypropylene case and is suitable for onsite testing. Optional Battery Eliminators are available for use with the Model 88C.
